Von Duprin Night Latch Trims

Choosing Von Duprin Night Latch Trim

Von Duprin night latch trim is selected as part of a compatible exit device assembly. Begin with the model of the device on the inside of the door, then match the exterior trim style and operating function. This collection includes night-latch pulls and handles along with other exterior trim configurations. Review the exact item description when comparing options: a pull, dummy trim, thumbpiece and thumbturn may look related but serve different operating requirements.

Night-latch models in this assortment include 210NL and 230NL options listed for 22 Series devices, 386NL and 388NL options for specified 33/35 Series applications, 880NL models for specified 88 Series devices, and 990NL models for specified 98/99 applications. These families help narrow the selection, but they do not establish universal compatibility. Match the full model number and the device application, including rim or mortise where specified, before choosing the finish or ordering multiple trims for a project.

Decide how outside access should work before comparing appearance. Check the manufacturer's function description for the selected night-latch trim and its paired exit device, including how the key operates the opening. If the door requires a different outside function, compare the related dummy, thumbpiece or thumbturn listings against the hardware schedule. Do not substitute one function for another solely because the mounting plate looks similar. Confirm the cylinder requirements, keying arrangements and whether the cylinder is included with the selected item.

For replacement work, compare door thickness, mounting preparation, trim dimensions and any handing requirements with the installed hardware. A matching series name is only the starting point; the complete trim designation and installation information should agree with the opening. Review package contents for mounting components and any separately required items. Keep the existing device number, trim number and finish together when preparing an order, particularly when a building has several generations of exit hardware or different functions on neighboring doors.

Browse the broader Von Duprin exit device trim collection when comparing exterior operating styles, or use the lever and knob trim collections for those specific shapes. For a new opening, select the inside exit device and outside trim together so the device family and required function are coordinated. For an existing opening, identify the installed components first and use their documentation to guide the replacement. Confirm the complete combination before ordering rather than relying on a photograph alone.
